I’m actually surprised. NE blanketed him like a rug, so he only caught one pass, but he pulled extra coverage off the other receivers. However, he had an easy touchdown reception lined up, so the Pat’s defender had to take him out, for a long pass interference gain that led to a score. So, he was almost as much a contributor as if he’d gotten a TD.
As to the press conference... well, maybe the Childress-Favre soap opera is enough for one team.
If Farve gets any more beat up he will be playing from a gurney.
